Gerald Charles Dickens, an English actor and the great-great-grandson of literary master Charles Dickens, will perform a one-man show of A Christmas Carol at Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library on Thursday, Dec. 4, at 1 and 6 p.m.
Charles Dickens originally toured the U.S. in 1867, reading his literary works before spellbound audiences. According to Gerald Charles Dickens, his great-great-grandfather adored theater and initially wished to be an actor.
Today, his great-great-grandson brings A Christmas Carol to life as he laughs, leaps, and laments his way through depictions of 26 characters of the tale. He uses only a table, wing chair, and hat rack as props.
Tickets are available for the performance only, or may be purchased in a package that includes general admission to the museum. Performance-only tickets are $15 per member; $18 per nonmember; and $10 children under 12. Package price (performance and general admission) is $35 per nonmember, and $20 for children.
